Good Morning, I hope everyone had a good weekend. We had a pretty nice weekend here. Weather was beautiful, and we were able to go to both of our families houses to celebrate Mother's Day. It was nice. Mary is at work as I am writing this today! She has been cleared to work 4 hours a day, for the first 2 weeks, and then we will see how it goes. She is so ready to get back to her normal life, or as close as she can get. She actually had her first day on Friday, but she could never get signed on to her system. She was able to see that she has over 1600 emails waiting for her to go through when she does get signed in! Ugh!! Today should be a better day for her though. I am sure they will work out all the bugs and get her going. Please keep Mary in your prayers this week, as I know she is going to need some extra strength to get through this week. Her energy level is still not where I would like to see it. I know that will come in time. She is still playing volleyball on Mondays and Fridays. She doesn't think she is doing very well, but I think she is doing great. She is not the old running and diving Mary yet, but she is getting stronger each time she plays. She just needs to keep pushing herself to get better and stronger. She is such and inspiration to a lot of people. The words of "never give up" sure come in to play when speaking of Mary. You just never know when life is going to throw you a curve ball. She is definitely still swinging. Well, I better get to work, hope you all have a great day! Thanks.
